GRAVEYARD SHIFT (1990) So I needed to find a replacement for Suicide Club since my DVD was faulty. I decided I would finally check out Graveyard Shift, the film that Eric Walkuski and Ammon Gilbert have been going on about since I met them. Did it live up to those oh so high expectations? You … Continue reading

DVD Review: How I Ended The Summer (2010)
Dir: Alexei Popogrebsky Stars: Grigory Dobrygin The Film Boy what a big piece of the human psyche this independent film is. If you’re ever wondering to yourself one particular quiet Sunday afternoon “I’d like to watch a film that brilliantly displays what happens when a modern-day young man falls apart simply because he’s afraid to … Continue reading
DVD Review: Biutiful [MA15]
Dir: Alejandro González Iñárritu Starring: Javier Bardem, Maricel Álvarez, Eduard Fernández, George Chibuikwem Chukwuma, Cheikh Ndiaye, Diaryatou Daff, Hanaa Bouchaib and Guillermo Estrella. The Film: Going into Biutiful, I knew virtually nothing about it, my sole knowledge was that it had been nominated for Oscars (Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actor). Those accolades alone … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Review – Pieces (1982)
PIECES (1982) Grindhouse/exploitation slasher tries to do giallo, which is one way to describe Pieces. The film I discovered after watching Going To Pieces: The Rise And Fall Of The Slasher Film is a neat little gem from that era. It isn’t perfect by any means but it is a solid watch. It is nasty; … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Saturday The 14th (1981)
SATURDAY THE 14TH (1981) Saturday The 14th is a strange little film, it isn’t some unofficial Friday The 13th sequel, nor is it a slasher rip off. This film is its own thing, think The Monster Squad via the way of Troll 2. In short this film is fun, cheesy, campy and very dated. It … Continue reading
DVD Review: Matariki [MA15]
Dir: Michael Bennett Cast: Jason Wu, Susana Tang, Sara Wiseman, Jarod Rawiri, Iaheto Ah Hi, Edwin Wright, Alix Bushnell, Michael Walley, Mark Ruka. The Film: I wasn’t sure what to expect before I watched this film. I didn’t know much about it other than it was that it was a multi-character/story drama from New Zealand. … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Review: The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1970)
THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE (1970) Dario Argento’s first solo directorial effort The Bird With The Crystal Plumage is an absolutely fantastic film. If you have seen his other earlier works from the 70’s and 80’s you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. The film is a classic ‘giallo’, a mystery/thriller/horror that … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Psycho 2 (1983)
PSYCHO 2 (1983) What’s one of the most typical things that happen to a beloved and successful film? Why a sequel, prequel or remake of course! One that should never have been thought up to do that to was Psycho; Hitchcock’s masterpiece was well a masterpiece! You don’t dare touch that (unless you feel whacked … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Review – Sisters (1973)
SISTERS (1973) I have always been a Brian De Palma fan, some of his films are better than others, and then there are ones that should be forgotten about. Whole browsing a website that had some film titles, I came across Sisters, and I was surprised to see his name down. I hadn’t heard of … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Paperhouse (1988)
PAPERHOUSE (1988) This entry into the 31 Days Of Horror viewing came as a suggestion from my good friend Sam. I blindly added it to the list; I didn’t even read a synopsis. As I sat down to watch it, there was something eerily familiar about everything, had I seen this before? I think somewhere … Continue reading
[Rewind] Spider Baby or The Maddest Story Ever Told (1968)
Spider Baby (1968) Based upon the recommendation from my good buddy Eric Walkuski (you can hear about it on Episode 80 of Super Podcast) I went and tracked down Spider Baby. My sole knowledge of the film was minimal, just the few details Eric had thrown out there. I left all expectations aside and dived … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Mini Review: Society (1989)
SOCIETY (1989) As a Brian Yuzna fan, I feel like a bit of an idiot. I always thought that Bride Of Re-Animator was his directorial debut. But when a friend told me about Society, I looked it up and discovered that this bad boy was in fact his debut. The film looked quite sick and … Continue reading
[31 Days Of Horror] Dr Jekyll And Sister Hyde (1971)
DR JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE (1971) This entry for my 31 Days Of Horror comes from my good friend A.J, he brought it up on a past podcast and based upon his recommendation I sought it out. Once I had it though I forgot all about it, and when making my list I remembered it … Continue reading
